Money Mark · Feb 26, 2007

Nothing. I wouldn't know what to do with it anyways.

j/k I carry lots of "survival" stuff. Winter stuff when it's cold and Summer stuff when it's hot.

I trailer my rig and usually wheel with elitists

so we'll just drag back to camp when I brake. Did that last weekend as a matter of fact. :looser:

I know, not much help. But I need to get my post count up. :flipoff:

I carry more "survival" and "safety" crap than spare parts unfortunately. My thinking is that if it breaks as it is now, I can survive with the supplies I have. The flip side is, if I had a spare part, I might not have to survive where its broken at and get home.

I have plans to carry a full arsenal of parts and supplies, but I cant easily do that until I get more storage. Damn standard cab

Let's see.

I just found my tow strap.

I have a flat spare. But I do have all the jack tools. Not sure if the factory bottle jack will jack though...

I have a flashlight.

I stay on the beginner trails. Unless I'm riding with someone else.

Um, make that "Holding on for dear life" riding with someone else. Ask KarlVP.

Oh, and I don't go trailing after dark.

Yes, I know. You can smell me coming. "ROOKIE!" Run away!

Grommit327 · Feb 26, 2007

I'm not much for spare parts(it's a toyota:flipoff

but have a good arsenal of tools, fluids, and just added a spindle and bearings to the mix(cuz it sucks being on the side of the highway with a burnt up and frozen wheel bearing/spindle...damn jeep axle:flipoff

LWB Samurai Joe · Feb 26, 2007

The kitchen sink....

oneshot · Feb 26, 2007

It doesnt seem to matter how much stuff I bring with me because the part that breaks is the one I dont have.:booo:

Zoediak · Feb 26, 2007

most of the time I bring the usual, spare oil, brake fluid,gear oil. Then bring spare steering knuckle u-joint (usually only one) and 2 spare driveline u-joints.

the rest is tools needed to fix the majority of problems... and over the years I have had many problems that I have fixed..

oh yeah and I almost forgot.... a wheeler's best friend - some starting fluid to re-seat the tire beads, and bailing wire for... well, who knows, anything I guess. I used it to hold up my engine mount when it torqued off of my jeep once. Finished the poker run - drove it home - welded it all up - and the bailing wire is still there (just in case ha ha)

I guess that is about it... nothing special, but been fixin other people rigs for quite a while on the trails...:wtf:
